In an oral debate held in November, 1873, in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, between Hardshell Elder, J. A. Thompson, and Benjamin A. Franklin, of the "Church of Christ," a remarkable admission was made by the Campbellite. On page 215, Franklin said:
"To whom did Paul say, "Work out your own salvation?" Was it sinners? No. To whom did he say, "It is God who works in you?" To alien sinners? Not a bit of it. But to saints in Thessalonia and Ephesus, he said, "It is God that works in you." He was not working in them to make them Christians."
This is a grand admission by the Campbellite! If a man gets saved, he cannot affirm that it is due to God working in him to save him! Thus, the man cannot thank God, or credit God, for it! What blasphemy!

I do not know any Christians who refer to themselves as "Campbellites." Your motive must be to imply Christians follow the teaching of a man and not the scriptures. If you have to dig back to 1873 to quote a Christian out of context so you can publicly flog a straw man, you are most pathetic. I am certain other "Calvinites" hope you do better with Christians that are alive and can answer your false teaching, but lacking the light of truth, I am sure you will not.
